My car was engineered with TRX wheels, but currently has 15" Simmons - the problem is there's two spacers on each of the front, this indicates they're FWD wheels? What kind of basic measurements or observations should I be making to ascertain things are not dangerously dodgey? My car is a 1600 with 240K struts and brakes calipers and quite low.
Mark.

I take it you're not talking TRX Bluey mags. LX Bluey etc are actually 6"
wide (TRX are 5.5") and LX mags have slightly more backspace (~5") which
results in around 8mm different offset to TRX mags and you are correct as
they will only fit 200B hubs with spacers, but spacers are illegal in Aus
unless OEM. Early 200B (10/77 - 7/79 DB1027 pads) hubs are wider by ~4mm
than late model 200B (DB1091 pads) so if your out by 12mm it sounds like you
could have late model 200B hubs - either are not much good with Bluey mags.

Subject: Wheel offsets :)
Hi there,
I have 200B struts in my 1600 and I hve bluebird fir mags the
offset is out by 12mm. I was wondering if I can change my hubs for some
other 200B hubs with a different offset or do I just need to go for longer
studs and spacers?
